Give Ireland Back To The Irish Lyrics

Give Ireland back to the Irish
don't make them have to take it away
give Ireland back to the Irish
make Ireland Irish today.

Great Britain you are tremendous
and nobody knows like me
but really what are we doing
in the land across the sea.
Tell me how would you like it
if on your way to work
you were stopped by Irish soldiers
would you lie down do nothing
would you give in
go berserk.

Give Ireland back...

Great Britain and all the people
said that people must be free
and meanwhile back in Ireland
there's a man who looks like me
and he dreams of God and country
and he's feeling really down
and he's sitting in a prison
say
should he lie down do nothing
should he be have like a man.
